The weather here has been soooooo wonderful that my dog and I have been enjoying extra walking time. Yesterday evening, Lizzie (my 63 lb dog) and Ronnie (my crochet guru) were walking at a nearby park. We hadn’t made it one full round in the Spring-like weather when I went down hard and fast! Poor Ronnie then had to tend to me and frisky Lizzie.
So, I am now in a cast from my fingers to my shoulder with two broken bones and a chip off the tip of my ulna. Also smashed my right knee and can barely walk! The good news? I’m right handed and the fractures were on my left. For that, I’m immensely grateful. Can’t drive for a few days because of my knee. Wouldn’t you know that a couple of forced days home have to be crochet-free? Is that fair? Okay, I’ll stop complaining and just focus on the positive.
Wanna see a picture?
The swelling in my fingers will go down in a few days so that I can hold yarn with it. Typing one-handed is not my greatest talent either. LOL. I’ll try to take some of this time to surf the net to find some ‘new’ and interesting crochet sites to share.
I found a picture of what my wrist looked like when i KNEW it was broken:
Colles Fracture (pronounced collies)
